In Printmaking, matrix is the term used to describe the elements from which prints are made.

At the University of Dallas, Matrix is also used to describe the program in which advanced printmaking students collaborate with professional visiting artists to create an edition of prints. Matrix also describes a group of friends of the art department who enjoy prints and support the program.

The artistic vision, the hands, the expertise to produce ambitious work, and the support of patrons are the elements from which the Matrix Edition prints are made.

Matrix was initiated by Juergen Strunck in 1985 with the gift of a large edition of one of his prints. ("NENCILI", relief print, 16" x 16")

Typically the Matrix visiting artist comes in the Spring semester for one week. During this time, the artist has a solo exhibition and works closly with the students to create a large edition (the Matrix Edition) for the program. This is a highly active week with deep interaction between the artist and the student-printers. 

Each member of Matrix Editions receives one of the prints. Members are invited to see the artist at work with the students and to meet the artist during a reception. The advanced printmaking students enjoy invaluable experience working with the matrix artist, and also receive printer’s proofs for their efforts.
